Tia Mowry’s Parenting Hack: Kids Must DIY Their Own Happy

In a refreshingly strange parenting memo dropped in October 2025, Sister, Sister’s Tia Mowry announced parents aren’t happiness chauffeurs but safety and ‘nurture’ chauffeurs instead. Post-divorce co-parenting with ex Cory Hardrict (married 14 years, divorced April 2023) includes letting her 13-year-old son ghost her reality show and veto his Instagram cameos, preserving teen mood swings as official policy. Mowry rejects ‘my house, my rules’ from her cultural upbringing for a relaxed 'say no if you’re not in the mood' vibe, aiming to avoid co-dependency. Meanwhile, celebs Kate Hudson and Michelle Obama keep parenting fun with apologies and ‘you’re not friends’ boundary pep talks—a true harmonious circus of modern motherhood.
